Reflections of Young and Old—Noah Reese.
Here are two contrasting settings for the young
tenor-bass choir that introduce foundational
concepts to the beginning singer. They can be
performed as a set or as stand-alone pieces
and offer the option to sing in unison or in two
parts. The Night Is Dark and Loud is in a minor
key and a slower feel in 3/4, while Courage
brings a major key and an energized tempo in
4/4. There are many opportunities for musical
growth through altered tones and accessible
polyphonic entrances.

Refuge (from "Sing Evermore!")—Gwyneth
Walker. An assuring text from master
poet Sara Teasdale, its central theme is
that one can take refuge in singing. Ever
sensitive to the text, Walker crafts word
painting throughout with shimmering piano
accompaniment figures, textural changes,
and fanfare-like passages in the voices on the
word "free." Excerpted from the larger work
"Sing Evermore!", which has orchestrated
accompaniment available.
